FRIDAY, OCT. 8, 1890_.
Tustmserviso day has been fixed for
Thursday, Nov, tkh,
AN agreement has been reached by the
conferees from the United States Senate
and House of Representatives on the Mo.
Kinley bill, and the measure will go into
effect on the sixth of Ootober. The duties
upon agricultural products finally agreed
upon are praotioally those provided for
by the bill as origi tally passed by the
House of Representatives.
Tun Protestant Oka Indians, Who have
been told by the Dominion Government
that unless they move away from their
old locatiou in Quebec Province, or be-
come members of the Catholic church,
they will get no further assistance from
the Government, have sent a strong
reply to Ottawa. They point out the in-
consietenoies in the various letters sent
them from the department, and refuse
either to change their religion or move
to Muskoka, es the Government desires.
They add :--"We want you to tell us
that you will treat us at Oka just the
same as if we were white people or as if
we were Roman Catholics."
.A. LfolvsTsn petition has been received
by the Dominion government from the
French Canadians and Catholics of
Manitoba asking that the ants passed by
the legislature of that province abolishing
the dual language and separate school
systems be disallowed. The petition
will no doubt be referred to Sir John
Thompson, the minister of justice, who
will report to the government for or
against granting the prayer thereof.
The question as to whether the provin-
cial acts whioh'the ministers have been
asked to veto are constitutional or other.
wise should have; weight in influencing
the decision of the government.
Tar; Legislative Assembly -of New
South We:es, by a vote of 97 to 18, has
adopted Sir Henry Parka's scheme for an
Australian federation. The Assembly
has appointed a committee to repro-ent
the colony at the corning federal conven-
tion. New Zealand has declined to send
repreeeutatives. It is therefore probable
that only Australia proper and Tasmania
will be included in the confederation.
This, however, is quite enough. It does
not really signify that New Zealand
stands out, as she is distant 1,200 miles
by sea from the Australian mainland.
New Zealand will probably oarre her own
destiny. Australia will be a large and
powerful ceufedeation, with immense
resources, and capsble of maintaining a
large population. The country possesses
a splendid climtte ; Europeans thrive
there, and we believe there is a splendid
destiny before it.
"Ksax0NIAN's" contributions to the
Canada Presbyterian are always bright
and interesting. In the Last number he
approaches the young man of the period
with the pertinent inquiry, "How do you
propose to spend the eveuings of this
coming winter ?" The question deserves
the moot careful consideration. Any one
can "put in the time" by going out near-
ly every evening. Making every
allowance for social duties, a vast amount
of time for the best reading might and
ought to be secured between October and
April. Biography, books of travel,
history, standard poetry and high elms
fiction ---no one should go astray with
these to choose from. The habit of
epeadieg winter evenings in leading the
hest lib"raters twill result trot only in
adder st rca of inform:aim', but in the
livil yosent of eelf•relianne and s•df-

and hundreds of thousands have been

packed, and forwarded by mail or express

rate that would indicate that any one in
doubt as to what Congressmen to vote
for need feel no lack of both Republican
and Democratic enlightenment. It may
be truly- said that the Democratic Con-
gressional committee is up and doing in
i an unusually energetic way.
The Democratic members, who were
threatening to retaliate for the seating
of Langston and Miller by organizing
to compel the Republicans to keep their
quorum in Washington in order to adopt
the oonference report on the tariff bill,
have reconsidered that proposition. The
party managers did not favor it, as they
wisely concluded that if the tariff bill
was needlessly delayed the business in.
terests of the country would retaliate up-
on the party which was responsible for
such delay. The understanding now is
that the Democrats who want to go into
their districts shall so, leaving enough of
the party in Washington to demand and
secure the yeas and nays whenever it is
thought expedient to put the other silo
0o record. Democrats filibustering, so
far as the present session is concerned, is
over.

Ou Monday }about noon as a train was
passing the upper station at St. Marys
a gentleman was throwing advertising
cards to those near by. A son of Mr.
Scott, the yardman, ran forward to get
one and was struck by the stets on the
passenger car, on the side of the head,
and was badly injured. At first it WWI
doubtful whether he would recover, but
we have heard that he is improving and
will be around all right again.
A. F. Rose, merchant, of Petrolea,
started out Monday of last week, to de-
liver a load of goods, and before getting
very far, complained of feeling ill. He
got off the wagon and had reached the
door of his store when be dropped to the
ground, saying to his wife who had
hastened to him that he felt a severe
pale at his heart and in his shoulder.
When the doctor arrived a few minutes
later he found that life was extinct. Mr.
Rose was one time a resident of St.
Marys, and his widow is a daughter of
40110 Adair of that town, and is loft with
a family of nine children.
The Mitchell Advertiser says :—While
in Mitchell the Rev. Mr. Rogers dropped
into our sanctum to say "How do you
do," and also inquire after oar spiritual
condition. That being all satisfactory,
other matters and things were spoken
abort, and in our friendly conversation
we perceived that the preacher was also
a husbandman, a botanist and a fruit
grower. At the parsonage in Atwood

fruit. The rev. gentleman informs us
that this season he picked over 50 pails
of plums of different varieties, besides
an abundance of other fruit of varione
kinds—nearly every fruit flourishes there
except the forbidden fruit. There is
none of that for 11e allowed his parishion-
ers to come and help themselves.
Ou Friday evening of last week, while
C. D. Swanson, lot 10, 14th con., of Dow-
nie, wan preparing his wagon to draw a
load of cheese to the station next morning,
his son, Alva Edison, was bringing the
horses to the stable. Some young horses

with the team he was driving, a1d one of
the span kicked him on the head just
above the temple. He became uncon-
scious, but recovered before his tether
found him. Next morning he got up,
dressed and went to tha barn, but soon
returned and lay clown for a while.
Some liniment was secured to bathe the
bruise, but it was not considered danger-
ous. On Sunday morning about 3 o'clock
Mr. Swanson was awakened by the heavy
breathing of his son, and medical aid was
sent for but he expired almost im-
mediately. It is supposed that some
small blood vessel had been burst near

fellow and the only child, and hill be
very sorely missed by his bereaved par-
ents, His remains were interred in St.
Marys Cemetery on Monday.
